I've performed in multiple stages in North America with both established and indie artists. My all time instrument has been the drumset but in the last 5 or so years have worked on learning and mastering guitar.

I taught children and adults from beginners to advanced intermediate.

I customize each lesson specifically for my students so that they remain satisfied and fulfilled with what they are learning.Each student has different interests and its my job to build a music curriculum around them.

My first experiences with teaching music were at the same time that I began to learn to play my main instrument, the guitar. This goes back to my childhood, because at that moment my teacher realized the facilities that I had not only to learn quickly but also to help my classmates who for different circumstances were not so much facilitated.

As mentioned previously, my Philosophy is this: think like a learner so that learners are able to learn from someone who thinks like them. I like to start my lessons from the very beginning which is tuning the instrument, so that the instrument sounds good. To me music is about 10% technicality and 90% feeling. Because you can play through an entire piece without any emotion and it won't be enjoyable because it doesn't feel good. Read More
